Not only right-wing figures. At the Festa dell’Unità in Reggio Emilia, major figures from the left will also be missing. Starting with Romano Prodi who, according to Il Foglio, will not be able to attend because he left with his grandchildren. Then, Piero Fassino, Lia Quartapelle, and Alessandro Onorato would have been excluded. Representing the center, in fact, would already be Matteo Renzi. Carlo Calenda, on the other hand, was contacted at the last minute and declined. Ernesto Maria Ruffini would also not appear on the guest list.
Moreover, nothing is yet known about the festival that is supposed to challenge Giorgia Meloni: the website states that the “program is coming.” When asked about the lack of invitation, Fassino reportedly replied: “Obviously, they couldn’t invite everyone.” In this regard, Il Foglio points out: “One of Schlein’s struggles is the relationship with Israel, and it may be a coincidence, or maybe not, but Fassino, the former secretary, former mayor of Turin, and former Minister of Justice, who has always had the courage to defend Israel and Ukraine, has never been invited.” Ruffini also tried to explain why he was not called: “They probably couldn’t find my phone number. Who knows how many people have the same name.”

At the festival, moreover, a major announcement is expected. It is not excluded that it could be about the purchase of the newspaper l’Unità. If that were really the case, for the Democratic senator Sandra Zampa it would not be great news: “I would be worried about communication on social media where people are being massacred, I would be concerned about making the work of the PD parliamentarians known. I have heard and hear every day that the PD should buy l’Unità, but who will pay for the newspaper? How will it be distributed? How much does it cost? Who will maintain it after the elections? These are questions that deserve a board meeting, a discussion.”
